The team at Coffey Testing – Adelaide can provide a suite of construction materials testing services to assist with major infrastructure projects such as new housing developments, transportation network upgrades, environmental preservation and climate change adaptation initiatives.
The Future of Adelaide’s Infrastructural Landscape
Adelaide is undergoing a structural transformation that will allow the community to become more connected, sustainable and liveable, through plans to implement major transport and urban planning improvements to further assist with economic development and growth.
Transport Infrastructure Upgrades
There are many plans in the pipeline for Adelaide to assist with giving their transport infrastructure a much-needed upgrade. Once complete, the new and improved transport infrastructure will assist with:
- Giving residents more and easier access to travel and commuting options, all the while cutting down road congestion, and supporting environmental initiatives that look to decrease rates of fossil fuel usage,
- Creating better links between metro Adelaide and other sides of the state, allowing residents to move around the city in less time, and
- Improving current and functioning transport systems, which looks at fixing roads, updating traffic systems and implementing new technologies to make traffic smoother and cut down delays.
Types of Testing Adelaide Can Do to Assist
Have peace of mind, knowing that you are getting results from procedures that are in line with the relevant statutory standards.
With geotechnical conditions varying considerably, the materials that are utilised within the construction process can have a major impact on the project’s structural integrity.
As the engineering involved in a construction process gets more complicated, the testing methods that we use to test materials samples must follow.
At our Coffey Testing – Adelaide laboratory, we can provide a broad range of complex specialty testing on materials such as soft soils or aggregates.
The types of testing that we can utilise at the Adelaide laboratory include but are not limited to; –
- Maximum dry density – Standard/Modified method
- Hilf Density
- Max/Min Dry Density
- Field Density Testing
- Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing
- Moisture Content,
- California Bearing Ratio (CBR),
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD),
- Atterberg,
- Hydrometer,
- Dispersion Testing – Emerson/Pinhole,
- Shrink Swell Index,
- Soil Suction,
- Soil Aggressivity Suite,
- Bulk Unit Weight,
- Triaxial Testing – Unconsolidated Undrained/ Consolidated Undrained,
- One-Dimensional Consolidation and,
- Concrete Testing.
